These are the core issues that Mato is suffering with: everyone's mad at him, he wants to do something with Dad, he wants to be useful.
The lattermost problem can be fixed easily. All he has to do is train harder. It really is that simple. The other two problems, they're a bit more complex.
On the subject of bringing Dad over, I say we should leave him out for now. Let the Maya stuff happen on its own, we can always get Dad later after Mato's calmed down somewhat and we've resolved any personal resentment against us.
In short, while for their other children they adopted a more traditional and far more strict education and raising, when it came to you, who was going to have some shit to dispense with later on in life, they chose to take a significantly lighter hand. They have certain requirements: you go to school and get the best grades you can (strictly speaking, not met, but the present A average satisfies them well enough that they don't poke into your academic rigor). You maintain your full FPSSJ power level (met). You be a good girl (debatably met, but met from their perspective). Beyond that, they make a conscious effort not to impose more demands than they need to. They don't want to pile on more stress than you can handle, and are uncertain enough in their ability to gauge that that they've elected to simply set results which you must produce.
